The Great Barrier Reef: History, Science, Heritage - Paperback

by Bowen James (Author), James Bowen (Author), Margarita Bowen (Author)

One of the world's natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2000 kilometers in a maze of coral reefs along Australia's northeastern coastline. Until now, no biographer has brought the fascinating story behind its mystique into public view. This book provides a comprehensive cultural and ecological history of European impact on the reef, from early voyages of discovery to the most recent developments in reef science and management.
